About performance
The performance farcically presents the phenomena of the world today: the estrangement of politics from everyday life, the abuse of public institutions and funds as instruments of power and the consequences of this degeneration of democratic principles.
A decadent escapade undertaken by more than just the main characters – the gherkins lose their vinegar, the spirit of an amputated little finger gains confidence, an SMS visit of a Russian satellite and a lectern fights an exciting battle with the noise level.
